Family Centered Support Programs
By providing intentional advocacy and family-centered programming, Inclusion Foothills bridges service gaps to prevent the isolation, poverty, and unemployment that frequently impact the disability community. Their mission fosters the social connections and life skills necessary to transform these systemic disadvantages into lifelong relationships and opportunity.
OUR DONORS, FUNDERS AND SPONSORS
Our Corporate sponsorships play a key role in Inclusion Foothills’ ability to provide programs and opportunities for individuals and their families. Receiving limited funding from the government, our operating costs are generated through other sources such as grants, fundraisers, donations, and sponsorships.
Inclusive Employment Programs
Having Inclusive Rewarding Employment (H.I.R.E.) helps ready-to-work individuals overcome barriers to employment.
YAP is a transition planning project that helps youth and young adults (14-25) and their families navigate the shift from adolescence to adulthood.
The Farmers' Markets are enjoyed by many during the summer months. What happens behind the scenes is an integral part of the H.I.R.E. Program.
Together, We're Making a Difference
The dream of ordinary, meaningful lives for all began with six families in 1998. More than two decades later, the need for supporting individuals and families in leading an inclusive life has never been greater. While we have come a long way, we remain focused on expanding to the many more we can assist.

K is working at the liquor store and has been there for a couple of weeks and seems to be enjoying it. K is getting himself to work on time and is not complaining about going and all the hours he is putting in right now ... a huge thank you your way as your care and concern for K has played an enormous part in this all."

"I must be honest as I was very apprehensive, before our meeting, as I did not know what information was needed and what I really need to assist me on my journey, with our 9 year old ASD/ADHD son. ... I learnt some new avenues that could be approached to assist our son. I left our meeting feeling empowered and relieved that I made this meeting."
